While Americans have been deeply absorbed with the topic of
immigration for generations, emigration from the United States has
been almost entirely ignored. Following the U.S. Civil War an
estimated ten thousand Confederates left the U.S. South, most of
them moving to Brazil, where they became known as "Confederados,"
Portuguese for "Confederates." These Southerners were the largest
organized group of white Americans to ever voluntarily emigrate
from the United States. In Confederate Exodus Alan P. Marcus
examines the various factors that motivated this exodus, including
the maneuvering of various political leaders, communities, and
institutions as well as agro-economic and commercial opportunities
in Brazil. Marcus considers Brazilian immigration policies,
capitalism, the importance of trade and commerce, and race as
salient dimensions. He also provides a new synthesis for
interpreting the Confederado story and for understanding the impact
of the various stakeholders who encouraged, aided, promoted,
financed, and facilitated this broader emigration from the U.S.
South.
